Crazy quilted purse

A while ago I dabbled in Crazy Patchwork and wanted to add lace to this purse, but couldn't find exactly what it needed.

This was my first time stitching velvet and Crazy Patchwork. Using stranded cottons, beads, a shisha mirror and even incorporating a perlè bound washer on the lower left of the back. There were lots of stitches that were new to me - split stitch, feathered chain, double herringbone - and a few not so new - chain stitch, french knots, and lazy daisy flowers.

Hey Barbara - I'm leaving a comment here in response to your question on my blog post regarding crazy quilting....if you could give me your email addy I'd be happy to answer in more depth. You're set to 'no reply' so I can't contact you otherwise. Drop me an email at marmic1954 *at* hotmail *dot* com and we can 'talk'. Thanks!

About Me

Hi, I'm Barbara. Welcome to my blog. I live on the edge of the North Downs in Surrey, England, with d.h. and our cute, bossy, chatty lady cat.
This is mostly a stitching blog, but there will be the occasional posts about walks - both country and town.
I hope you will find something you enjoy reading here, and that you will come back and visit me again!
